How I Ended This Summer

Aleksei Popogrebsky writes and directs this Russian drama set at a meteorological polar station on an isolated Arctic island between Russia and Alaska. The film charts the increasingly strained relationship between two men working at the tiny, remote station: experienced long-timer Sergei (Sergei Puskepalis) and adventure-seeking college graduate Pavel (Grigoriy Dobrygin), who arrives for the summer on a work experience placement.
